The time has come, brothers, to test your mettle in the first Vigilia Mortis Warhammer 40,000 8th edition tournament!

Put on your Flack Jackets, engage your armouring serfs, awaken your tomb world or carry out any other preparations you deem necessary to be ready for war! You will test your Table Top prowess against all comers in this tournament and everyone is welcome whether you are a seasoned veteran or a TT newbie.

The Tournament will be run over a 6 week period starting at the beginning of October with one match played each week. Points will be awarded in each match and the overall winner will be the one who manages to amass the largest score over all 6 matches. The scenario/mission for each week will be from the Eternal War missions and once a particular mission has been played it will not be played again. This means you will play all 6 Eternal War missions over the course of the tournament.

- So, now that you're all eager to start putting your lists together let's get down to business, the RULES:

- Games will be played using Matched Play rules on TableTop Simulator

- 1500 points per side with a maximum of 3 detachments

- Lists must be submitted by private message to ChaplainArcanis(who is acting as a neutral admin) before the tournament matching begins to ensure there is not unfair list tailoring or invalid armies.

- You mayNOTchange your list between matches

- Proxy models will almost certainly be required, as such all models must be clearly labelled and you must explain exactly what they are to your opponent before the game begins.

- We will be using the following rules from the upcomingCHAPTER APPROVEDsupplement:

RULE ZERO: This is designed as a fun tournament between friends, please bear this in mind during matches and when putting your lists together. Try to keep to the spirit of the rules, not just the letter.
